摘要:

The first case of a solitary dermal Spitz’s nevus arising on a nevus spilus is described. This special variant of a combined Spitz’s nevus may cause difficulties in differential diagnosis from malignant melanoma in association with a nevus spi

摘要:

We describe the simultaneous occurrence of perinaevic eczema (Meyerson’s naevi) and Sutton’s halo naevus in one patient. Characteristic clinical and histological features of perinaevic eczema were found around four benign melanocytic naevi on the limbs. In addition, the patient had a typical Sutton’s naevus on the back. The association of Meyerson’s naevi and Sutton’s naevus has been reported only once in the past literature. Both diseases appeared a few weeks after a severe sunburn. The role of sun exposure in the development of eczematiform and/or vitiligoid reactions around melanocytic naevi is

摘要:

Kaposi’s sarcoma is a unique neoplasm which has emerged as an important element of AIDS in homosexuals but not in others at high risk for AIDS. The biology of this important tumor may be related to cytokines secreted by HlV-infected cells and/or by Kaposi’s sarcoma cells themselves. We report 3 patients with multiple keloidlike tumors. These lesions proved to be Kaposi’s sarcoma histologically, yet with a unique keloidal component. This variant has not been described previously. It is possible that cytokines that stimulate Kaposi’s sarcoma cell growth may also stimulate proliferation of local fibroblasts to produce this

摘要:

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare disease in Europe. Relapses after treatment are more frequent than in visceral leishmaniasis. HIV patients infected by Leishmania have frequently visceral involvement, and responses to treatment are poor. Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in HIV-infected patients has rarely been reported. A patient with centrofacial granuloma was diagnosed as having mucocutaneous leishmaniasis; simultaneously HIV infection was detected. To our knowledge this is the first case acquired in Europe. Intravenous meglumine antimonate 20 mg/kg/day for 28 days was proven to be useful.

摘要:

The association of connate, left-sided, extensive epidermal verrucous nevus, multiple isolated bone tumors and vitamin-D-resistant rickets since childhood seen in a 20-year-old male patient corresponded to an epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS). However, other organ involvement occasionally associated with ENS could not be found in this patient, and his intraosseous tumors represented histologically benign hemangiomas. Serum analysis revealed hypophosphatemia (together with phosphaturia), decreased levels of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase indicating hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. Therefore we suppose that vitamin-D-resistant rickets combined with skeletal tumors represents a peculiar type of osteomalacia caused by unilateral mesenchymomas.

摘要:

The flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (FPDL) is a dye laser with 585-nm wavelength and 300- to 450-μs pulse width and has been demonstrated to effectively and safely treat port-wine stains, telangiectases and superficial hemangiomas. We report 2 cases of pyogenic granuloma following the treatment with FPDL

摘要:

Multiple familial cutaneous telangiectases occurring over 3 generations are reported. The morphology of the lesions, the absence of haemorrhagic episodes and the pattern of inheritance are consistent with the diagnosis of hereditary benign telangiectasia described by Ryan and Wells. The differential diagnosis and a possible association with other mesodermal anomalies are discussed.

摘要:

Pseudoxanthoma-elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis is a rare acquired idiopathic non-inflammatory elastolytic disorder. This disease, described in aged females, is characterized by asymptomatic skin lesions of the neck and supraclavicular regions clinically resembling pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Histological and ultrastructural examinations show a total loss of the elastic fibres in the papillary dermis. We report another case of this entity in a 69-year-old Italian woman.

摘要:

Angiodysplastic syndromes include a vascular malformation which may often be associated with secondary changes such as further vascular abnormalities, soft tissue and bone hypertrophy. One of the best known is the syndrome triad originally described by Klippel and Trenaunay, which includes a unilateral capillary malformation, ectatic veins and osseous and soft tissue hypertrophy. A female patient is reported who had an extensive capillary malformation, discrete ectatic veins overlying an extensive venous malformation and soft tissue hypotrophy without bone involvement. Our patient and cases from the literature illustrate the occurrence of ‘atypical’, hypotrophic variants of angiodysplastic syndromes. Discrete superficial angiodysplasias may overlie deep, extensive malformations, and identification of such cases is important with regard to management and prognosis. The current classification of angiodysplasias is based on the primary vascular malformation. The use of eponyms should be avoided, because they do not contribute to the diagnosis and management of such ca

摘要:

We report a patient with late onset mucocutaneous pigmentation characteristic of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, who also developed hyperpigmented macules within preexisting psoriatic plaques. This has rarely been reported. Macular pigmentation of the forehead and dorsum of the fingers was also a prominent feature. It is important to consider other causes of mucocutaneous pigmentation including Addison’s disease, the Laugier-Hunziker syndrome, chemotherapeutic agents and HIV diseas
